A ground-floor apartment at 201 Eastern Parkway (across the street from the Brooklyn Museum), long a hive of drugs and prostitution according to a tipster, is now a homicide scene. Per the tipster:

On Saturday afternoon two college students from Tennessee went into 1M. On Sunday afternoon one came out on a stretcher, the other in a body bag. According to the cops on the scene, they had OD’d on heroin spiked with rat poison. The guys who run the ring in 1M (the actuall tenant lets them use it in return for free drugs) actually were the ones who called the cops, who said all evidence was gone by the time they arrived. It’s not clear if they’re going to be able to charge them with murder or not. Guess it depends on if the other kid survives and can testify (I don’t know his condition).

A television news van is parked outside right now, but we haven’t been able to find any reports online. Any neighbors have more details?
